Purdue Students Travel to Mideast to Learn More About International Construction

A group of Purdue University Building Construction Management students traveling to Saudi Arabia on a construction collaboration project have set up a blog to document their trip.  This trip is being sponsored by FTR International Inc. According to Professor Brad Benhart, who is traveling with the students, each day the students meet with a construction team and shadows them. The goal of the program is to promote international construction opportunities to young builders. Sponsors FTR International have shown the students around and spent a great deal of time preparing for their visit.  Each of the team members prepared presentations, case studies, and lectures to coincide with their respective work on the project.
